Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis associated with Crohn's disease.
Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) was first described by Giedion in 1972 as a self-limited relapsing noninfectious inflammatory condition usually affecting children and adolescents. The association of CRMO with psoriasis, palmoplantar pustulosis, and SAPHO syndrome (synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis) has been described. In this case report, we present a 49-year-old man with CRMO coexisting with Crohn's disease. To our knowledge, this is the first report of CRMO with Crohn's disease without the presence of pustular skin lesions or other features of SAPHO syndrome.
